You knew it had to happen sooner or later. After all, if a biological, chromosomal male who identifies as female can have his birth certificate changed to female, why cant a 69-year-old man who feels like hes 49 have his age legally changed?
Why is one biological reality namely, sex changeable, while another biological reality namely, age not changeable? And havent we heard for years that age is just a number? Why not change the number, especially when numbers do matter when it comes to age?
After all, there is the age when you can drive or drink or marry or vote. Then theres the age when you get pension for retirement. Why not adjust the age to correspond with how you feel? Isnt this only logical, given the social climate of the day?
As I pointed out in 2016, if perception is substituted for reality, there is no end to the social madness that follows.
You do not just have a man being named Woman of the Year.
You do not just have a white woman who identifies as black.
You have a father of 7 who identifies as a 6-year-old girl.
You have a man who identifies as a dog named Boomer.
You have a young lady who believes she is a cat trapped in a womans body.
You have a man who has his ears removed because he identifies as a parrot.
You have a man who changed his identity to female but who has now had her ears and nose REMOVED to transform into a 'dragon lady' with scales, a forked tongue and a horned skull.
And now, you have a man who not only identifies as 20 years younger but who wants the court to change his age so he wont have to lie on social media about his age. Why not?
As reported in the Telegraph, Emile Ratelband, 69, argues that if transgender people are allowed to change sex, he should be allowed to change his date of birth because doctors said he has the body of a 45-year-old.
In his own words, I have done a check-up and what does it show? My biological age is 45 years.
When I'm 69, I am limited. If I'm 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work.
When I'm on Tinder and it say I'm 69, I don't get an answer. When I'm 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.
And what did the judge have to say?
The judge expressed some skepticism but also noted that changing the sex on a birth certificate, as transgender people have the right to do, once was impossible and is now allowed.
Precisely so!
As NPR explains, Transgender people around the world have fought long legal battles for the right to change their birth certificates to match their gender identity. Where that is permitted, the legal requirements vary; in the Netherlands, transgender people need a statement from an expert affirming that they have a permanent conviction that their gender does not match what is on their birth certificates, and that they understand the repercussions of their decision.
Ratelband, already the father of 7 but wanting to have more children through surrogate mothers, appears to have a permanent conviction to the point that, he told the court he would be happy to delay his pension benefits for 20 years, as a logical extension of his age change.
So, why not?
After all, the Denver Post reported this week that, Colorado residents who do not identify as male or female will be allowed to choose X as the symbol to represent their gender on their drivers licenses when an emergency rule goes into effect this month.
And a letter signed by 1,600 scientists made clear that, when it comes to biological sex, scientific fact must give way to perceptions and feelings.
So, not only do these scientists strangely claim that, There are no genetic tests that can unambiguously determine gender, or even sex.
But they also state that even if such tests existed, it would be unconscionable to use the pretext of science to enact policies that overrule the lived experience of peoples own gender identities.
Put another way, who cares about science about verifiable facts and data when you have feelings and perceptions?
Since I radically changed my diet in August, 2014, I have literally felt that I am getting younger every year. Its really quite remarkable.
I believe my predicted life expectancy has increased dramatically as well, which makes me feel younger still.
But the reality is that I was born in 1955, and the only way to change my legal age is to change my birth certificate, which means tampering with reality.
Its the same with changing ones biological and chromosomal sex. (As always, Im not referring here to the difficult and sometimes ambiguous situation in which intersex individuals find themselves. Im referring to indisputable biological and chromosomal cases.)
To change ones sex (or age) is to change reality. No amount of compassion for a struggling man or woman merits tampering with that.
What about the George Burns song “I Wish I Was Eighteen Again”?
He can't buy a new house or choose a different car at 69?
LOL, I’m close to 80 now, but I would like to be 22 again. That way I can drive my Kia down to the beach and pick up a couple of bikini clad 20ish babes. Even the gray haired ones with walkers who are telling me they are 22? The world has truly gone nuts, and who the hell is leading the parade of nuttiness? Who else?
An early Happy 80th Birthday to you!
Why not. It’s as absurd as trying to make a man into a woman.
You better get a Vette or something similar, a Kia aint gonna cut it these days.
Just...sayin.
It may be a biological reality that I am 230 pounds, but I want people to recognize me as a 6-pack 170 pounder. I am tired of being called fat. If people are made to recognize me as the weight and shape I desire, then my feelings will not be hurt. I demand it to be so.
Then, lets see...it may be a biological reality that I am bald, but...
Simply put, he wants to lie about his remaining life span.
From where I sit that is the fraud. He can say he is whatever age, but to have his birth certificate altered, how can anyones birth certificate be trusted. Just sayin.
” The world has truly gone nuts,”
Periodically, society goes nuts and acts irrationally. The Tulip Bulb crisis, people accuse others of witchcraft and execute dozens, spies are seen everywhere and chaos results. The pendulum swings both ways. The time will come when we look back on people changing their sexes and marvel at how crazy we were that everyone was forced to accept this lunacy.
More and more, doctors are finding that sex changes make people unhappy and suicidal. It will stop. It’s just a matter of how long the alphabet people manage to hold sway. But the longer they force themselves down our throats, the worse the reverse swing will be for them.
Once that lunacy stops we will find that laws allowing people to select their sex of official documents will be reversed. In the future those laws will be jokes delivered in law lectures along with the laws about not walking your duck on Saturday night.
I’m just so confused. About EVERYTHING happening on this planet. Everyday it’s something new. Not good. Just new
And just when I think we’ve reached the absolute bottom of all that is gross, base, ridiculous and just plain annoying, here comes another sick twist with the blue plate special of the day
i can see a lot of 15 year olds wanting to be 21 to buy booze, a lot of 40 year olds wanting to be 65 so they can collect social security, etc...
It’s just the next logical step. Unfortunately Liberals are illogical, but the rest of us could see this coming. And much worse.
“biological, chromosomal male “
If you say male, you don’t have to add biological or chromosomal.
Same for mother. If you say mother, you don’t need to add biological or birth.
“surrogate mothers” are not mothers. “Transgender males” are not males.
Doctors have known that for a long time.
But, more and more, sex changes make doctors rich.
Maybe a matchmaker can make him a match?

Will this war on reality finally devour itself?
Since delusion is now mainstream, I’m thinking about demanding a change on my birth cert to make me Napoleon Bonaparte, with a corresponding birthdate, so I can return from exile and social funds from both the US and France. Let the APA deal with that.
Hey, I drive a Kia too, but,,,,,,, just sayin’
:<)))
Why doesn’t he just “identify” as a 45 year old? That’s fashionable nowadays.
